FAQ IoT industriel
Industrial IoT (IIoT) refers to the networking of machines, systems, and industrial devices with the internet. The goal is to collect production data in real time, analyze it, and use it for optimization. This goes beyond data acquisition to include increased efficiency, predictive maintenance, and the integration of production and IT systems.
Edge computing means that data is processed directly at its point of origin (at the machine or gateway) before being transferred to the cloud or IT systems. This reduces latency, minimizes data volume, and allows companies to retain control over sensitive production data.
- netFIELD platform: Open edge computing solution with cloud connectivity and container management
- netFIELD devices: Edge gateways for connecting machines and controllers
- Embedded modules and chips (netX): Integration of IIoT functionality directly into devices
- Communication gateways: Connecting fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet networks to IoT systems
- Real-time-capable data processing directly at the machine
- Support for numerous fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet protocols
- Container-based architecture for flexible software extensions
- Easy integration into existing IT/OT environments
- Centralized management and updates via the cloud
- Future-proof operation through support for OPC UA, MQTT, and TSN
- Predictive maintenance: Condition monitoring of machines and early fault detection
- Production optimization: Real-time analysis of process data
- Retrofit: Upgrading existing systems with IIoT capabilities
- Data preprocessing: Reducing big data volumes before cloud upload
- Remote maintenance & monitoring: Remote updates and centralized device management
Hilscher solutions are based on netX technology, which supports virtually all relevant industrial communication protocols. This enables seamless integration of machines using different networks (e.g., PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus, CC-Link). Via edge gateways and the netFIELD platform, data is forwarded to IT systems or cloud services.
Hilscher relies on modern IT and OT security standards, including:
- Encrypted communication (TLS, VPN)
- Role-based access control
- Secure container isolation in netFIELD
- Remote updates for security patches
- Industrial-grade hardware with long-term support
- Machinery and plant engineering
- Automotive industry
- Process industries (chemicals, pharmaceuticals, energy)
- Logistics and material handling
- Robotics and motion control
- Strong OT expertise with decades of experience in industrial networks
- Broad protocol support enabled by netX technology
- Open platform (netFIELD) instead of proprietary systems
- Combination of hardware and software—from embedded chips to cloud solutions
- Industrial focus: Solutions designed specifically for harsh production environments
Without IIoT and edge computing, production data cannot be used efficiently. With the right solutions, companies gain transparency, flexibility, and efficiency in their processes. Hilscher supports this with scalable products that modernize existing systems and enable new Industry 4.0 projects.
